Especially with no railings, in case one manages to squirm away.
No rail around the edge, no handrails on the steps, which seem to have unsafely shallow risers.
I know it’s for artistic effect, and maybe this was purposeful, but before I even realized all that, when I first looked at it, it instantly gave me a queasy feeling of deep unease.
I know she’s similar to other banner ladies we’ve seen… But this is the clearest photo I’ve seen of one.
You can see so much detail of all the crazy stuff attached to her clothes, some of which we’ve only been able to guess at in similar photos. I’m still guessing at what some of them are, but at least I know what they look like.
All sorts of tools, keys, hinges… I’d like to know what all the tiny things are that seem to be sewn to the ends of her sleeves. You can almost see the pattern on the silverware. Silver spoons must have been a popular gift.
What is that enormous thing on her head? Is it adorned with cans of paint? I don’t know if paint came in cans yet.
She appears to be chained to the woodstove.
I think my favorite thing might be that her actual elbows are wearing stovepipe elbows.
I want to say, “C’mon… no one would be that stupid.”
But whenever you say that, someone turns up who’s just that stupid.
Or at least, just that ignorant, or that careless, or crazy…
or whatever it takes to do whatever it was you didn’t believe anyone in their right mind would do.
Imagine another species takes you from your jungle home, and locks you in a dirt cage, with a crowd of them watching your every move.
Sure, they feed you… but you can’t eat, sleep…. or even pee… in private. Your most intimate relations with your own kind, if you’re lucky enough to be with your own kind, are public.
Sometimes you need them all to back off, and go away.
Went to post a picture, wouldn’t send. Thought file might be too big or something, so tried a different picture, still wouldn’t send. Tried refreshing the page, came back as ‘Site Unavailable’. Site was down for about half an hour.

Appears to not have lived a hard life. May not have been fit to handle a hard life, or even a moderately difficult life.
Inconceivable!!!
Exactly.
Someone please google this one
Do you mean the painting?. maybe Susan can help
I tried last night.couldn’t find any attribution except a “design company” ….
It’s for sale on tote bags and towels, and in two different textures of “brush strokes”. Not a choice, but depending on which site you order from.
That usually means it’s AI…
But I didn’t have time to do a lot of digging.
Uncle Fester?
That was my other guess, too.

I’m sure I heard someone say walk! Please don’t tell me that I was mistaken. 🙁

Well, at least one of them knows how to blend in. Let’s mic that one up and send it through the enemy camp and see what we can find.

Stylish in a minimalist way, but maybe a bit flimsy to hold a grandpa with a squirming kid or two on his lap.

This is from 1924… so those are pretty expensive cars.

This is going to be an exciting learning experience!

I hope there are no children close by when it melts and falls apart.
